Grainne mentioned one particularly interesting seminar which is coming up at the end of this month - "Hollywood Screenwriting". Bring it on! James Bartlett, who is a writer and journalist living in LA, and is also a story analyst for the Sundance Institute, National Geographic Films, New Regency, UCLA and the Academy of Motion Pictures Nicholl Screenwriting Awards (phew! what a list!) will be speaking about the impact style can have on your script. James can apparently tell by the opening pages of a script whether the writer is based in the US or on this side of the Atlantic. So, budding writers, take note! The seminar costs €40 for members and €55 for non-members.
GTB had the pleasure of talking to Ray Senior, owner and founder of showbiz.ie and VIP pictures. Ray who is a self confessed Mr. nice guy admitted in studio that the only reason he set up his company was to get into high profile nightclubs and meet girls (we loved the honesty))!! He never imagined it to become the huge success that it is and to Rays delight it celebrated its 10th birthday this year!!
He told the girlstalkback team that there is definitely a love/hate relationship between the paparazzi and those being papped.....but let's be honest without them these celebs would never be known!!
If you fancy becoming a pap yourself and earning anything from €90 to €150 from the simple click of a camera, check out showbiz.ie on this link.

GTB moved on to the more serious subject of Sex Addiction. The Centre for Sexual Addictions, Director of Counselling and Communication, Declan Fitzpatrick discussed the issue with GTB. The number of people in Ireland suffering from Sex Addiction is on the increase and this appears to be more common among the male population!!!With celebs such as Tiger Woods coming out to talk about his struggle with sex addiction, this may encourage others to come out who feel that they may be suffering too. It is definitely an addiction that people seem a little unsure over.....some people simply feel it is an excuse for infidelity or promiscuous behaviour?? What are your thoughts???
The Centre for Sexual Addiction offers help to those who feel they may be suffering from Sex Addiction. Check out their website here.
